Namaaste Kitchen

You know that feeling when you want proper Indian food but can't be arsed with somewhere trying too hard? Namaaste Kitchen on Parkway is exactly that. It's unpretentious, genuinely busy on weekends (the kind of busy that tells you locals rate it), and the kitchen actually knows what it's doing. The room itself is straightforward—no exposed brick or Edison bulbs nonsense—which means everyone from families to dates to groups of mates feel equally at home. Prices sit comfortably in the mid-range, and the food reads like someone actually cares about balance: proper spicing, good vegetable dishes that aren't an afterthought, and curries that taste like they've got some backbone to them.
